Whole Home Audio using Chromecast Audio

Kodi is installed on a mini ITX i3 Ubuntu box connected to my TV. Also installed on the Ubuntu box is pulseaudio-dlna. There are 3 Google Chromecast audio devices on my network in an audio group. The Chromecast devices are connected to my stereo in the living room, a boombox in the living room and a boombox in the bathroom. My music resides on another Ubuntu box and is served over NFS. On boot Kodi starts playing music in party-mode.
